Book Description
Excerpt from Rocky Mountain National Park Seasonal Handbook, 1998 With the lt century quickly approaching, the Park's scenic beauty, relatively small size, and proximity to Colorado's heavily populated Front Range present the greatest challenge, balancing visitor use with resource protection. Named in 1988 as among America's top ten most threatened parks by the Wilderness Society, Rocky Mountain National Park has made a concerted effort to strengthen traditional partnerships and to forge new ones as a strategy to counter ongoing funding and staffing constraints. The staff of Rocky Mountain National Park exhibits a remarkable degree of flexibility and openness to new ideas. A willingness to invest in automated data processing hardware and software has kept the Park current with new technology. As a result, Rocky has served as the field testing site for new computer and administrative initiatives because of its program capabilities, the professional competency of its staff, and an openness to try new things. Furthermore, the staff is willing to look beyond immediate needs to determine budgetary and staffing consequences of today's decisions. This receptiveness to look at the long-range effects of today's decisions makes Rocky Mountain National Park an exciting environment in which to test new ideas against the litmus of balancing visitor use against resource preservation.

Pages : 140
Book Description
Excerpt from Mountaineering in the Rocky Mountain National Park This is a Nation of outdoor lovers; it has yet to become a Nation of mountain lovers. For many years the high, rolling plateau from which rises the majestic Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado has been the resort of increasing summer thousands, but few, indeed, ventured into the fastnesses of the mountains. When plateau and mountains both became the Rocky Mountain National Park in 1915, the popularity of the neighborhood increased with extraordinary rapidity; the normal attendance of in 1915 became in 1916 and in 1917. Attention became centered upon the snowy mountains which Congress dignified as typical of the Rockies' noblest heights, and the desire to enter them began to possess those who had been content to View them from the plains; thousands of new visitors were attracted by their sudden fame. Mountaineering of the kind which is enjoyable to the unac customed has become popular. Increasing thousands yearly are now tasting of a new joy and yet one which is as old as man. Fortunately there existed, to meet this new need, a few men and women to whom these mountains were old and familiar friends. Fortunately these men and women, proselyters of nature, were' inspired to bring all men and women into the fellowship of the wild. This book is a compilation of experiences of the Colorado Mountain Club which cover many years of climbing these very mountains. Its purpose is to offset in some measure the many years of inexperience of those who come new to the mountains. If it will lessen the hardship of new climbers until experience shows them that there is no hardship, but in its stead vigorous nerves, bounding health, inspiration, and a rare communion with nature, its object and the hope of the club's members will be fulfilled.
